The ESO Headquarters extension seen from afar

The innovatively styled new office buildings, designed by architects Auer+Weber+Assoziierte, appear in the centre of the picture. The older part of the Headquarters is seen to the left.

ESO’s new office and conference building together with the technical building in Garching have a total area of 13 200 square metres, which more than doubles ESO’s Headquarters total area. The new buildings will strengthen ESO’s presence in the Garching research campus, allowing the organisation to further expand its economic and scientific contribution to the region.
